oh poor you clux


did 2 yr old have "symptoms" before the actual spots came out and therefore for you to know it was on its way?


my 4 month old baby got it on sat 13th and to be honest i thought by now my 2 yr old hadn't got it so i would be in all clear but obviously not - agh - i know i've got to get it over and done with but i don't want my toddler to be wimpering :(


keep me informed and i pray it's over as soon as possible

Re getting it twice; My youngest had it when was a baby (under 18mths, but can't recall exact age due to crap-mumitis), He's been off colour since Monday evening, threw up all this morning & suddenly mid morning developed 3 distinctly chicken-poxy spots on his tummy. No further developments (other than miraculous recovery from tummy bug coinciding with the discovery of said spots).


Could he have caught it again? If so could he get away with only 3 spots. He says they're not itchy, but having been through it 4 times now, all quite badly, I like to think I can recognise a chicken pox if I see one & these definitely look poxy to me. I'm confused - Help!

hello


there were warning signs - the day before the spots appeared she was quite hot and she had a very pale rash across her stomach so i knew it was on its way!


we're on day 5 today and i think we may finally be over the worst. the poor little thing is totally covered (even got some in her mouth now) but she has only cried for about half the day as opposed to about 95% of the day like the rest of the week!!


you can get it twice if you only have a mild case the first time - or thats what a GP told my husband anyway

Yes, we had similar warning signs, but I just thought he had a bug - it never occurred to me it might be CP as he's already had it. Can you get it twice if you had a bad case first time round? he still only has 3 spots so it seems to be extremely mild if it is CP.

      House share wanted from September

      By valeenitt · Posted

      Hi fellow forum-ers,  I am in need of getting out of a (mutually) toxic relationship with my husband, but cannot afford to buy or rent anything half decent in the area. I would like for the children not having to change schools and friendship group, their training club etc to maintain some level of stability through the storm. I am looking for a house share with someone in the same position as me who is willing to share rent/bills/chores and... life! Or, maybe, a not so young person who needs help with cleaning, washing, shopping and cooking and has a couple of bedrooms to spare and can do with some extra cash. My children are 17, 14 and 10 well behaved and used to be respectful around people's houses (we're seasoned home exchangers). The eldest is in a fishing school (don't ask) outside London and only comes home for the weekend. The other 2 are into sports, so often training or in competitions during the week/weekend.  If you are interested or know someone who is, please DM me. I know it's a long shot, but I hope somewhere out there someone is able to help us. Also, if you're being through this and can offer advice, that is also welcomed. In case you're wondering, my husband is disabled and won't leave the house (and it seems unfair that we ask him to).

      What second hand car do people recommend?

      By beansprout · Posted

      Hi, My automatic nissan juke, much to my shock, having only done 50,000 miles needs a new gear box. Trying to decide to replace gear box or buy a second hand car - always thought Japanese cars were reliable and guess I have just been unlucky. Any advice greatly received - to buy a second hand car or replace gear box. If buying second hand would one suggest dealership or private garage ?? Thank you.
